The hashtag #AdviceforYoungJournalists exploded like a thunderbolt on the Twitterverse last night and trended out of the blue worldwide. Thousands upon thousands of 140-character words of wisdom were unleashed in rapid succession.

Below are 100 #AdviceforYoungJournalists tweets that caught my eye, made me laugh out loud or triggered a vigorous head nod. I present them in no particular order, purposefully shooting for a mix of funny, on-point and slightly out there.
